Kaya Bread Pudding

About kaya

Coconut jam, coco jam, or kaya (Malay: kaya or seri kaya) is a food spread, a custard jam in the general sense, consumed mainly in Southeast Asia and made from a base of coconut and sugar.

Kaya, also called srikaya (from the word meaning “rich” in Malay based on its golden colour) or coconut egg jam, is a coconut jam made from cocnut milk, duck or chicken eggs which are flavoured by pandan leaf and sweetened with sugar. The spread originated in Southeast Asia, most likely Indonesia or Malaysia. This is reflected by its tropical ingredients santan (coconut milk) and pandan leaf. Kaya is sweet and creamy, available as a golden brown or green coloured spread depending on the amount of pandan and extent of caramelization of the sugar. As with other jams, kaya is typically spread on toast to make kaya toast and eaten in the morning but is enjoyed throughout the day. It is also used with glutinous rice to make kuih seri kaya.

Scarlett, that's just what I need being a newly wed and I don't do very well on the cooking front, but this looks great to please my 'Man'. I'll definitely give it a go, you give such wonderful instructions.
